GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is one of the most common RTX chips in the used catalog — 230 matched models carry it, with benchmark results in 100 games at 1080p. This guide covers what the entry rung of Ampere delivers and which laptops to look for.

Where the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU sits in 2026

The catalog scores the chip at 52.3, placing it 114th of 341 scored mobile GPUs — the heart of the middle band. Its neighbors bracket it neatly: the Quadro P3200 (53.2), Apple M3 Max (52.6) and Quadro P4000 (52.3) just above; the GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q (52), Apple M5 Pro (51.9) and Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q (51.9) just below. Read plainly: a 2021 entry RTX performs like a well-fed 2019 GTX 1660 Ti or a professional Quadro of the late Pascal era — mid-tier graphics with modern feature flags attached.

What the chip brings

This is the GA107-class entry point of Ampere on 8 nm: 2560 shader cores, 4 GB of GDDR6, a 75 W envelope and roughly 5.3 TFLOPS of theoretical throughput. The 4 GB frame buffer is the defining constraint — enough for 1080p in most titles, the first thing to run out in texture-heavy games. The upside of the generation is real: DLSS and ray tracing support, plus Resizable BAR. Public synthetics: PassMark 10076, Time Spy 5170.

FPS in games at 1080p

Sports and esports titles fly: FIFA 21 at 183 FPS and FIFA 22 at 171 at the high preset, Star Wars Squadrons and Monster Hunter Stories 2 at 143, Apex Legends at 118, Doom Eternal at 115 and Resident Evil Village at 101. The mainstream single-player shelf holds the 60 line with room: Battlefield V at 98, Forza Horizon 5 at 83, Diablo 4 at 84, Battlefield 2042 at 65. The heaviest modern ports need the medium preset or DLSS: Elden Ring and GTA V post 54, Red Dead Redemption 2 51, Hogwarts Legacy 40, Resident Evil 4 Remake 41, God of War 49, while The Last of Us at 26 and Dying Light 2 at 39 are the honest limit of 4 GB.

Laptops that carry it

With 230 matched models, the roster spans the whole 2021–2026 entry-gaming market. The displayed slice shows 2025 machines leading: Acer Nitro V 15 and V 16, ASUS TUF Gaming F16, Lenovo LOQ and HP Victus 15 mostly clustered at $1440, the OMEN 16 Slim at $1665, Alienware 16 Aurora at $2220, and HP's ProBook 4 and EliteBook 6 at $1144 proving business lines borrowed the chip too. Roster medians reflect the modern platforms around it: best CPU score 87.6, gaming index 72, overall score 78.5.

Bottom line

The RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is the sensible floor for a used gaming laptop in 2026: it holds 60+ FPS at 1080p high across most of the catalog's 100 benchmarked games, and DLSS stretches that further where 4 GB would otherwise give out. It is not the chip for maximum-settings AAA gaming — The Last of Us numbers make that plain — but in the $1200–$1500 band of 2025 machines it dominates the roster, and the catalog's compare pages show what stepping up to 3060/4050 class actually costs.
